I’ll bet Putin had a stroke when he found out about this. The Serpukhov was commissioned in 2015 and carried Kalibr cruise missiles. The fire occurred in April while the ship was based in Kaliningrad.
Putin might even have thrown some ketchup on the wall.
I don’t know what the hell that was, but it done blowed up real good.
A drone drops grenades near a soldier being carried away on a stretcher. The soldier is miraculously cured! He jumps off and runs away.
That was either an extra large warhead on a drone or it was a missile strike. Either way it’s a righteous bavovna.
This should be Exhibit A at The Hague.
Here’s some great news, although it is not yet confirmed. Hopefully he is unable to return to duty.
Teplinsky commands one of Russia’s roughly six groups. He was appointed in October to head the Dnipro group. He was formerly commander of Russia’s airborne troops.
Teplinsky has already survived one rumored death.
Of course, Teplinsky’s wife might be even more famous than he is.
Remember that super-expensive S-500 air defense system that Russia moved to Crimea that was promptly targeted by Ukraine?
Criminal Russian behavior is not confined to Ukraine.
Another careless smoker.
Now we’re talking about real money.
Finally there seems to be a reasonable assessment of what is going on at the aggregate plant in Vovchansk, where Russian troops have been reported to be cut off for more than a week now.
Apparently he doesn’t realize that he was supposed to die in Ukraine and save the state all that money.
I’m surprised they bothered. Maybe he was an officer. Cannon fodder would have been left to be fertilizer.
I don’t know which is worse — being out in the weather or having to listen to that guy.
Scorched earth is the Russian way.
Killing a city is a lot of work that leaves you with an absurd result: a blank space on the map. Nothing in place of something.So much discipline, intention and overtime work just to bleach a limited land area. This begs the question: Why?
Slavenka Drakulić had the answer.
The Croatian journalist had a similar question when she wrote about Old Bridge (Stari Most), a 436-year-old bridge in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which was destroyed by artillery of the Croatian Army in 1993.
Her quote:
“The question is: What kind of people do not need that bridge? The only answer I can come up with is this: people who do not believe in the future –theirs or their children's – do not need such a bridge.”I think this is profoundly true.
Wiping out a town makes sense only if you don’t need it – and don’t believe this place and its people deserve a future.Cities are the drivers of progress, they embody society’s hope for prosperity and growth. City-killing is essentially a modern method of genocide.
So naturally the guy on the roof has to throw things at the sheep. Omsk is in Siberia.
If Russia’s goal was to raze Chasiv Yar, they have succeeded.
There was a story going around on social media that Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska bought a fabulous Bugatti. And not just any Bugatti — it was a Tourbillon.
The infamous Jackson Hinckle tweeted it too. I reported him, but I’m not holding my breath that Elon will do a damn thing about it.
Anyway, Bugatti has unleashed its attorneys.
I thought priests were supposed to pray for peace?
Ukraine might be getting a new prime minister.
The publication, citing unnamed sources from within Zelensky’s team, said the President expects more “creative solutions and proposals” from the latter.
“The president is tired of Shmyhal, it can be seen from his attitude at the meetings. He doesn’t even listen to him much anymore. It’s some kind of even more emotional thing than a miscalculation...
“Zelensky constantly wants some creative solutions and proposals, while Shmyhal, although he has improved in recent years, cannot completely change,” an unnamed source from Zelensky’s team told Ukrainska Pravda.
Drunk Russians can’t dance.
Rest in peace.
Get down. Just get down.
Their house is gone but at least they are OK.
Beautiful strings.
I think she said yes.
Sgt. Shepherd on duty.
